English Ivy

English Ivy

The English Ivy, `Hedera helix,' is a strong growing, trailing variety that is perfect for baskets, containers or use as a groundcover.  It is a classic variety from the Fall Magic collection, and produces fan-shaped, silvery green foliage.  Its dense growth and abundant leaves will form a thick canopy just above the ground, to prevent sunlight from reaching other plants.  Commonly used by homeowners, horticulturalists and landscaping contractors, the English Ivy is perfect anywhere a fast growing, low maintenance evergreen cover is desired. 

 




Silver Brocade

Silver Brocade

The Artemisia Silver Brocade, `Artemisia stelleriana,' is a compact, silver-white perennial plant with a height of fifteen inches and a spread of over two feet.  This wooly plant produces yellow flowers in early summer that are not very showy.  This plant prefers sandy soil but does need a well drained location with full sunlight and a small amount of afternoon shade.  This plant can be paired with Echinacea Purple Coneflower or Rudbeckia Black Eyed Susan to add interest to any garden or accent fresh or dried flower arrangements. 

 


 

Amethyst Myst Coral Bells

Amethyst Myst Coral Bells

The Heuchera Amethyst Myst, `Heuchera x Amethys Myst,' is also known as the Coral Bell or Alumroot.  This plant has unique, deep purple foliage that is dusted with silver, unlike the other burgundies of its family.  During the spring, its light pink flowers will appear, remaining into the summer.  However, these plants are more known for their lovely foliage than their blooms.  They look especially great in borders, woodland edges, rock gardens or in mass to form a ground cover.  This plant is perfect for a beginning gardener.
